Abstract

Synthetic biology is here to stay and will transform agriculture if
given the chance. The huge challenges facing food, fuel and chemical
production make it vital to give synthetic biology that
chance-notwithstanding the shifts in mindset, training and
infrastructure investment this demands. Here, we assess opportunities
for agricultural synthetic biology and ways to remove barriers to their
realization.
